Google Releases an API for Their Database

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-a-good-idea dept.

Ben Wills writes "Yahoo! announced that Google Released an API last Thursday. "The service, launched Thursday, is called Google Web APIs, for application programming interfaces. The tools let noncommercial software developers "query more than 2 billion Web documents directly from their own computer programs," according to Google's Web site. For now, the service is free." Google just keeps pushing the limits."

    The world can now be revolutionized! We can get Google searches on Microsoft.com! The pigeons will come out of their cages and peck the buttons on the Microsoft servers, thus shutting down the evil megacorporation! Hail Google for saving the world! The pigeons will save us all, hail the open API!

    is that the first time it was posted on Slashdot, it was CmdrTaco himself!

    And then came Hemos (the one to whom most of you refer as the "first" post...)

    I think CmdrTaco needs something for memory improvement. Some herb or medicine, dunno.

    When she gets upset with you, you need to get really romantic. Give her a hug and tell her you love her. Take her out for a nice dinner. Bring her back home, light up the fireplace, open a bottle of wine. Show her that you really love her.

    Then bend her over and fuck her in the ass. Don't use lube, either. That'll teach her.

    Or an in-browser app that automatically Google-linked everything in a page? Like M$'s proposed auto-linking, but populist. True hypertext.

    Good luck! Don't count on feeling lucky d;-)
